Ex-England soccer manager Gareth Southgate has struck a content deal with Sky Sports.

Southgate’s 1071 Media is partnering with Sky Sports on YouTube and podcast content, with Sky Media representing all of them commercially.

Hosted by Match of the Day’s Mark Chapman with Conor Coady, The Football Dugout will be a weekly podcast and YouTube show exploring the tactical side of the game. YouTube’s The Football Boardcast will take fans inside the money, power, and politics that shape the modern game, with hosts Christia Purslow and Henry Winter, while Sky Sports YouTube show The Football Data Room is presented by soccer analysts and will combine data with expert insight.

Southgate launched 1071 Media recently with Jimmy Worrall and the ex-England soccere manager said its intention is to “combine exciting new concepts with the leading thinkers in sport to educate, inform and entertain fans.”

Southgate is one of the most decorated England soccer managers of all time, having reached the finals of two European Championships plus the semi-final of the recent World Cup in the U.S.
